Set resolution too high and restarted computer

[Avengeance]

Ok so one of my friends decided to set the resolution on her computer too high. It told her it was out of range so she restarted thinking it would fix it. It didnt of course. I remember having to fix something like this before but I cant remember how I ended up fixing it. I already tryed safe mode and deleting the graphics drivers and stuff like that. So what is another way to fix it?

reset the bios

Before Windows is starting up, tap F8 (as if you were going to boot into safe mode). You should see a number of options, one of which is "Enable VGA mode". Select this option. This will force the system to boot into Windows with a resolution of 640x480. From there you should have no issues putting it back to default.

reset the bios

...that would do nothing.

Oooska got it right.

Or do what I do and hook a high res monitor upto it.
